A napkin is like an expression of personality and creativity and it’s folding also reflects our mood. It can set the tone for our unforgettable dining experience and enhances the look of your interior. There are so many styles for napkin folding: the pyramid, the bird of paradise, the arrow, the French napkin fold, the crown etc. My favorite are: the diamond and the shirt n.f.P2UPRX58YPNE Here you can see the steps for making a shirt napkin fold. (An iron would help you to make easier this n.f.)

I think it's a noble profession to do such works of art like Napkin folds. Luigi Spotorno has over 35 years experience in the catering industry, he is an expert. Luigi has created napkin folds for the Queen's Golden Jubilee, Prince Charles's wedding to Camilla Parker-Bowles, for opera singer Luigi Pavarotti etc.

Very often we feel the need to spend time around people we love in a relaxing and harmonious atmosphere. There is an ideal invention in interior design world, made especially for resting and communicating - CONVERSATION PIT or SUNKEN SEATING.
Modernist designers Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard used a conversation pit as the center piece of the influential Miller House (1958) in Columbus, Indiana.

“It takes a higher level by taking down a level”. Conversation pit brings people together and makes them closer. It creates a more intimate atmosphere and also it facilitates table top games…
It looks so beautiful at night with candles lit…in the middle of the water surrounding the moon.

Natalie Irish is a very creative artist. She doesn’t use her hands to create mind-blowing masterpieces. Natalie is endowed with an unusual talent. She conquered the whole world with her works because this cute young artist paints only with her LIPS. Some media outlets decided to call her “Lipstick Artist”. By such method she created portraits of famous artists as: Kate Middleton, Marilyn Monroe etc. and a self-portrait.
I adore her works. I'm always glad when I see such original ideas. I wish her all the best and a lot of lipsticks)))
